Looking forward to your results since I still haven't gotten said email hmm

So far 230 c for the hotend and 70 c on a glass bed seems to be right for the stainless steel pla. gunna buff on it in a bit.

only Laser powder type printers can 'weld' metals etc together. so  for the 'desk top 3D printer' industry, these type exotic filaments are mostly for looks with some practical uses for conducting electricity, flexibility, etc. the metals are mostly for costume jewelry and art. but still in demand due to what can be made using 3D tech now.

no prob. Just wanted to make sure you saw it.

Can anyone that has used this filament comment on it's strength? For example, I would like to make "metal" gears for stepper/servo motors for small projects. I'm curious to know if prints using this filament are stronger/harder than standard PLA.

Thanks smile


It is no stronger than traditional PLA. Read the FAQ on the wesite  http://www.proto-pasta.com/product#SSstrength

Upgrading is something I've always planned on doing. I think all of these different filaments are really interesting. Not just these but, stuff like laywood too. Thanks for the insight. smile

And yes, you *can* print it with a stock hotend, but just imagine a stainless steel PLA clog in a PEEK hotend. It may just be a certain percentage steel, but I can't imagine it would be any less fun than clearing a PLA clog. Also, consider expansion. It may be wise to upgrade to an E3D with a larger nozzle...it would certainly be easier to maintain. smile

I saw the magnetic recommend even lower. Could someone pint with this stuff with SD stock extruders, thermistors and nozzles? I think it's pretty neat. I have a Press on order and I have an SD2 Pro that needs a new motor. I'm eventually upgrade the SD2 to a Bulldog or other setup but I was just wondering how far I'd get with this stuff once I get off of my rear and fix my SD2. Thanks in advance.
